Starting university is an exciting time full of great change. Relocating to a new country could be challenging and exciting at the same time. The first few weeks can be quite bewildering, but our Student Council, Student Services team and all of us at RCSI Bahrain are here to assist you and to make the transition to university life as smooth as possible.
As part of new students’ orientation, the following sessions will be held for all international students to help ease your transition and provide you with tips and advice that will help you during this exciting phase.
There’s no better way to prepare for this move than hearing directly from our students who will be sharing their own experiences and the tips that helped them through.
